The rest of the Showtime telecast is set for the November 5 card headlined by unbeaten WBA regular super middleweight champion David Morrell Jr. (7-0, 6 KOs) against undefeated mandatory challenger Aidos Yerbossynuly (16-0, 11 KOs) from The Armory in Minneapolis.
In the co-feature, middleweight Yoelvis Gomez (6-0, 5 KOs) faces former unified champion Jeison Rosario (23-3-1, 17 KOs) in a ten-rounder, plus unbeaten middleweight Fiodor Czerkaszyn (20-0, 13 KOs) battles Nathaniel Gallimore (22-5-1, 17 KOs) in the ten-round telecast opener.
Gallimore won that upset against Leon Lawson last summer and then sat out almost a year and a half. At his best, I think he wins this one too.
i thought the WBC and the WBA were going to end all their money grab paper BS champions?
Morrell is moving on up to Showtime status and fighting an actual contender…I guess. Morrell has looked brilliant so far in his career, but has fought only fringe contenders at best. He’s done exactly as he’s pleased and has faced zero challenge or threat in any of his fights. Obviously that will all change as he fights stiffer competition, but I’ll be watching this guy like a hawk to see how good he really is.
“WBA Regular Super Middleweight title”, huh? WTF has boxing dwindled down to? Need to go back to about 8 weight classes like it used to be when boxing was respected by the sports world. The fighters nowdays are great, but the sanctioning bodies make a complete mockery of the once great sport.
